Stall No More! By Ernie (Read 1,264 times)

I have been wanting to control the enricher so it doesn't lean out until the scooter reaches operating temperature. Today I installed a SPST rocker switch on the left access panel just behind the floorboard.

I cut the heavy yellow wire on the battery side of the enricher plug and used wire nuts to connect the two leads of the switch to the two cut yellow leads.

Now I can interupt the 3.15 volts going to the enricher by throwing the switch to the O position. When the bike reaches normal operating temperature, I flip the switch to the l position which sends 3.15v to the enricher. In about a minute, the motor returns to normal idle 1,800 rpm.

I may want to learn more about this in the future:)

Good job, so your problem was the Enricher was cutting off the Extra Fuel to soon.
So with the Scoot running the Enricher is NOT getting the Voltage to EXTEND and cut off the extra fuel until you flip the switch.
Very Good Ernie

Yes several people have done this with the cold natured linhai and it does help in especially cold weather.

It is 37 degrees out tonight and I started the scoot using my enricher switch. I gotta tell ya, I'm insufferably pleased with myself. It never missed a beat! ;D ;D ;D

I took the scooter for a nice long ride today. It ran great. Strangely, after I wired in the electric enricher voltage cut off switch, the first time I put on the left turnsignal it blinked very fast as in a bad ground. After five blinks, it slowed to the normal blink. The right turnsignal did exactly the same thing. Funny thing is they each did it only once and have been working right ever since.

Does the voltage regulator in these things use some kind of adaptive strategy and correct for resistance changes?
